Well....19 read and 13 on the TBR list....that's pretty, well poor, I guess! LOL!

Hmmm... I'm not a huge romance reader so it turns out I've only read three from the list. Yikes. But I see that anything written by Susan Elizabeth Phillips is a must read, and I happen to have the majority of them out from the library waiting to be read right now, so I can't be doing too badly!

Marg, I'm going to be posting the number of books I've read from the Best Books eva! list. It's extremely pathetic because I've watched more as movied than I've actually read. I think I'll post it later today.

That's a very interesting list. I surprised myself--I've read 35 and have another 11 in my TBR pile. And I haven't been reading romance all that long, or even exclusively. Must be I've been picking the cream of the crop. *tongue firmly in cheek*

I must say, though, that I didn't love all the ones I'd read from this list.

About Me

My adventures through time and place, all without leaving the pages of my book. Reading is what I do to relax and escape, and talking about reading is my favourite hobby. You might find me immersed in historical fiction or romance, young adult, a mystery or a fantasy, but you can be sure that whereever I am, I will have a book with me!

If you have read and reviewed a book that I have reviewed, then please, feel free to add your link in the comment for that post and I will add your link into the body of the post so that other readers will be able to see what you thought as well.
